6/10 Good

Nice host , toilet facilities not ideal , room was left very damp by other guests . Room was comfortable
Danny, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Ok, cool staff

Everything was good, except the breakfast. They don't have a "free breakfast" properly, they only provide some milk and cereal and you can use them to make your own meal, but it looks like a courtesy, not a breakfast. And the shower it a bit annoying, but it's pretty OK in general.
